Thrombopoietin (TPO)-receptor agonists have heralded a paradigm shift in the treatment of refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Reactive thrombocytosis has been described as a secondary effect of such therapies. However, the phenomenon of extreme thrombocytosis with morphology mimicking a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) followed by fatal thromboembolism is unusual in this setting. Caution is required in the diagnosis of refractory ITP as well as TPO-receptor agonist dosing in such cases.
血小板生成素(TPO)受体激动剂开创了难治性免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)治疗的范式转变。反应性血小板增多症已被描述为此类疗法的一种次要效应。然而,在这种情况下,出现形态学上模仿骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)的极端血小板增多症并随后发生致命性血栓栓塞的现象并不常见。在诊断难治性ITP以及在此类病例中使用TPO受体激动剂时需要谨慎。
